Lots of people have been talking about Grafton Street lately, so I had to go down to have a look for myself.
The christmas lights that go all the way down Grafton Street look absolutely amazing and I hope I have done them some sort of justice with this image.
Oh how I wish the weather was like this again, it dark, grey, gloomy, rainy, cloudy yes yuck.
This photo was taken a good while ago while walking up Dawson Street.

This shot was taken when I was at Dublin Zoo what feels like an eternity ago.
Herons hang around the penguin enclosure waiting for feeding time and when the penguins get fed the herons go mad flying about within arms reach of you, quite scary
Hello and welcome to McAWilliams.com the new improved version, but more about that later.
This photograph was taken up on the new bridge which connects Bray with Enniskerry, which opened last week. I am getting home at 7pm ish so I decided to try a traffic zooming by type shot, I think this worked quite well, anyhow onto the main story.
As you may well know, Movabletype 4 proved to be a big headache for me, so much so that I decided to change platform all together and move to Wordpress. I thought it would be easy enough, how mistaken I was the install etc was fantastic and to be fair to the Wordpress programmers they aint lied about the fact it is quite easy. My problem was how I used Moveabletype over the years.
I coded all the templates in Movabletype myself and as such used the default entry page in a strange way, I had also created custom entry fields using a plugin for the likes of meta keywords and descriptions etc, these fields unfortunately did not transfer to the database I had to create for Wordpress, and in the mayhem I lost all the details I had spent years entering.
So with Wordpress I had to start from scratch all that remained from the old site were the entry details and comments but all pictures keywords descriptions for 411 entries had to be re-entered from scratch, hence the delay.
I am using a theme for now but will be modifying this to get some originality back into McAWilliams.com, and what do I think of Wordpress, well as I told Caitriona tonight I aint looking back.
Still trawling though the archives and coming up with some really nice photos unfortunately my photoshop skills are so lacking that I cant seem to do much with them.Anyhow here is a shot from Saint Stephens Green, my favorite haunt, of a guy taking photos of leaves, madness if you ask me, you would never catch me doing anything as silly as taking photos of leaves.
Another photo from the archives this time looking up the River Liffey towards Liberty Hall and the IFSC.
I really need to get out and about with my camera a bit more.
Yes I have not been to Norway for a while now but I have revisited my archives finding some pictures which for some strange reason I never really worked on.
This is a shot looking up at the palace in the centre of Oslo.
